Tamora
Breathtaking pain overwhelmed Tamora as her mind recoiled from what she was suffering. Pushed beyond the limits of endurance her mind sought refuge in the meditative contemplation that her people practiced from an early age and throughout their lives. Incapable of fully controlling herself, only fractured images, sensations and remembered thoughts from the forest of her birth swam in and out of her mind but from them she drew strength. Beyond conscious thought, and as much in her body as in her mind, she accepted the force constricting her as implacable. Against such forces of nature the trees of the forest survive not by fighting back but by bending to them and, by bending, enduring. So the entity that Tamora’s mind and body had become also sought to bend and to survive.
